You can now buy tattoo sleeves for your cat

Etsy

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “You know, my cat just isn’t cool enough,” then fear not — we have just the product for you. There are now tattoo sleeves for your cat.

Yes, you read that right. If you want your cat to look tatted up, then look no further than the Etsy shop SimplySphynx, where you can buy custom-made clothing for your cat made to look like tattoos.

This (ingenious? superfluous?) design comes from California-based artist Airie McCready, who owns Slinx Concepts, a clothing company for cats and dogs. The tattoo sleeves came when a friend of McCready’s showed her a fake, cloth tattoo sleeve he had purchased and poked fun at her tattoos, which had cost a lot of time and money.

If you’re worried about kitty safety, don’t be — all of the designs are nontoxic and the material is safe for cats to wear. McCready’s own cats (three sphinxes and three Devon Rexes) have modeled the designs extensively.

“Everything in my shop is made by myself or a contracted seamstress and I oversee each item,” McCready told MetroUK in an interview. “Two years ago at the Westminster Kennel Club, they had a ‘meet the cats’ event and even had the cats do an agility course. Misha, a Sphynx, wearing one of my Tattcat shirts won!”

You can buy the tattoo jumpers on McCready’s Etsy store starting at around $20. The sleeves come in a variety of colors to match your cat’s markings. These will probably work best with cats that are one color (such as all black, all white, all grey or sphinx).

Looking for a few more things for your hipster cat? Here are some recommendations from our friends at Chewy.

Hipster Cat Parents

You were a cat mom or cat dad before it was cool! You’re always ahead of trends, and that means your cat is, too.

The latest gadgets? You got ’em, and so does your cat. You stay connected to your cool kitty all day with a pet cam, like the PetCube Play 2 Play, which includes a pet-safe laser toy that you can control from your phone. And your cat never misses a meal thanks to their Arf Pets Automatic Feeder, which allows you to program up to four meals a day and customize the portion size. You can even record a special message to call them to mealtime!

Lastly, hipster cat parents have a unique sense of style, and that transfers over to your pet’s supplies. Pet bed? Please. Your cat lounges in her P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle and You teepee. Your cat even does their bathroom business in style because you have the IRIS Top Entry Cat litter box, which has a sleek, modern design and comes in fashionable colors, like white, black and orange.
